This should be no problem at all. Quoting HCS the comport number is
the argument to the arduino abstraction:
[arduino 1]
[arduino 2]
[arduino 5]
The numbers depend on your computer, of course. Send a 'devices'
message to get the numbering:

The Arduino website is a little inconsistent. The Max/MSP page now also
points to:
http://www.arduino.cc/playground/Interfacing/Firmata
as well. PDuino is now firmata and all is well.
SimpleMessageSystem also works on both platforms, but I think
that it is not a sensor system but a general system to talk with the
Arduino board: it can do input and output, but can also be used to
set up parameters of a program running on the Arduino. So it is
even more flexible than firmata which is more flexible than Arduino2Max.

Feb 2007 Erich Berger reported success on Windows, no success on Linux.
I cannot find any other reports.
